Dr. Kennedy has gone through a very rigorous testing process as well as a formal review of his large collection of successful case studies. By being awarded Diplomate Status, he is now considered an expert in the field by the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.

Dental Treatment for Sleep Apnea

Dental Sleep Medicine is a crucial alternative treatment for Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea can wreak havoc on your sleep and quality of life, and can even be life threatening. It is traditionally treated with a CPAP machine, however not all patients respond well to it. An oral appliance is a much less invasive therapy with a very high success rate. The skilled Apnea Alternatives team at Ann Arbor Smiles will create a custom appliance for you.
